I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

4.0

the book is good, but i didn’t feel like i learned anything i didn’t already know—which says more about my interest in true crime than it does about the book. the book is well researched and thorough; it’s amazing how dedicated mcnamara was to solving this. admittedly, what i’m most interested in about true crime is when the perp is caught and the legal process, so the fact that that was not in this book (because it was written and released before he was caught) irked me. i didn’t know that before i read it, which again is more on me than it is the book.
